Roundtable: Financing State-Determined Contributions: Connecting Climate Capital to Africa's Most Investment-Ready Cities

As climate finance increasingly shifts toward implementation and measurable impact, cities are emerging as critical drivers of climate action. Yet many subnational governments continue to face significant barriers in accessing the capital, partnerships, and technical expertise required to deliver transformative climate projects at scale.

This executive roundtable will convene a select group of investors, development finance institutions, climate funds, corporates, policymakers, and technical partners to explore how innovative financing models and strategic partnerships can accelerate climate implementation in Africa's cities.

The discussion will spotlight Lagos State's pioneering State-Determined Contributions (SDCs) Framework—a practical model that translates climate ambition into investment-ready opportunities across clean energy, sustainable mobility, circular economy, climate resilience, carbon markets, and nature-based solutions.
